New York Rangers: The greatest game ever played

Where where you on June 14, 1994 is one of the classic questions that all New York Rangers fans can share. All fans remember exactly what they were doing when the Rangers defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 and ended a 54 year drought, the longest in NHL history. It was a thrilling hockey game and the final result wasn’t confirmed until the buzzer signaled that it was over. But as great as that match was, Game Seven of the Conference Finals was the greatest hockey game the Blueshirts have ever played.

The Cup clinching game had its share of suspense, but the Rangers never trailed after Brian Leetch scored at 11:02 of the first period.
